House Cleaning Schedule...

...organize your cleaning time with this easy to make house cleaning schedule!


So what does your housecleaning schedule look like? If you have a house cleaning schedule that is. :-)
The amount of house cleaning you do depends on how much time you have to clean.

Do you have a lot of house cleaning tasks and not enough time to to do them in?

If that is the case, I'm guessing that your home is not as clean as you want it to be.

A housecleaning schedule along with some home organization tools and some good cleaning supplies, will help you to focus on getting your home neat and clean!


A House Cleaning Schedule Shows You Where the Time Goes

Two things determine the amount of time you spend on house cleaning and the amount of house cleaning you do.

  • Family size - a larger your family, means there is more house cleaning to do.
  • Your idea of clean - Do you require a spotless home where eating of the floor is possible or are you just the neat and tidy type?

To get your house cleaning done in the time you have, you need to make an effective, easy to use housecleaning schedule...


Let's get started.

To make your housecleaning schedule...

  • Get a calendar. One of those where you can write in the boxes.

  • On exact dates on the calendar , write down your major house cleaning events - that's the house cleaning you do on a bi-monthly (e.g. cleaning the bathroom), monthly (e.g. refrigerator cleaning), quarterly and yearly basis.
  • Write down a list of your daily and weekly chores. Next to each item on the list, write down how much time each chore takes and if necessary how many times a week you do them. (These times are just estimates. Make the necessary adjustments when you know the accurate times spent on each chore).


Ready?

Now that you have your major house cleaning events dated and your daily and weekly chores listed with their time commitments, get ready to make your house cleaning year plan.

A house cleaning schedule lists all your unchanging commitments for the year. The unchanging cleaning times in the following example are highlighted in yellow.

Hint: Make your box sizes bigger to give yourself more writing space.

When you finish making your house cleaning year plan, make enough copies of it for each week for the rest of the year.

Now take one copy and start on your house cleaning schedule for the rest of the week. Make sure to consult the calendar of major house cleaning events and your daily and weekly chores lists.

In the example below, unchanging time commitments are in blue. House cleaning times remain yellow.

As you can see this house cleaning schedule can be used for other aspects of your life besides cleaning your home. Adapt it to suit your needs - use it well and get your house cleaning done.

NOTE: Another house cleaning event you can list on your house cleaning schedule with a *star*, if you wish, are the days you hire a maid service to do the house cleaning for you.
